Huang Ting

The only sounds in Maoshan in the middle of the night are the rustling of leaves and the occasional clear and melodious sound of copper bells in the eaves.

Moisturizing things silently,

The seemingly peaceful Maoshan was undergoing earth-shaking changes under the control of Hu Xiuwu.

······

"Maoshan is a Taoist fairy mountain. It is known as the first blessed place and the eighth cave. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but as you can see, even the birds are humane and not afraid of people."

The tour guide wearing a little yellow hat pointed at the rows of smart and beautiful birds on the bridge pier with the guide flag in his hand. Even if someone walked by the bridge, they were not afraid.

If someone can take out their favorite snacks, they can even allow people to pet them and take photos with them.

This group of new tourists were also very interested, rummaging through their backpacks, trying to find some biscuits, bread and birds.

Going out to play is not just for taking photos. If you don’t take photos, it’s not for nothing.

"Mom, I saw a fox!"

Suddenly, a boy who had not reached his mother's waist relied on his unique perspective and discovered the red fox hiding in the grass.

Its flame-like fur was particularly conspicuous in the grass. When the boy pointed it out, many people noticed it. However, it was much more vigilant and arrogant than the birds. Seeing many two-legged beasts looking at her excitedly, a few of them

He jumped to the tree and disappeared.

The sensitivity is not at all like that of an ordinary canine.

The boy was not disappointed at all, because thanks to the fox's leap, he discovered something more interesting hidden in the canopy:

"It's Brother Monkey! Dad is Brother Monkey!"

His father touched his child's head and said with a smile: "That's just a monkey, not Sun Wukong."

The boy was very unconvinced: "Why?"

His father thought for a while and said with a smile: "Because he can't play with a stick, and he doesn't have a Ruyi Golden Cudgel that can become bigger or smaller."

The young woman next to her rolled her eyes, and used the small wooden sword in her hand that the boy had pestered her to buy for her, and struck her careless husband with a sword, stabbing him in the back.

Knowing that he had made a mistake, the husband smiled, picked up his child, and walked to the old tree, hoping to bring the child closer to see the monkey.

Just as he was approaching, a Taoist suddenly flashed past him and stopped him. This Taoist was wearing a navy blue Taoist robe. He seemed to be in his forties or fifties, but his figure under the Taoist robe was as strong as a heavyweight boxer.

His hands held up the Taoist robe until it was bulging. Even the young woman just now didn't wear the clothes like this.

All we can say is that his husband still needs to work hard.

Although he looked like a figure like Lu Zhishen, when the Taoist spoke, his tone was very gentle: "Good believer, be careful where you step, there are snakes here."

"There's a snake!"

"Are there any snakes in the Taoist temple?"

"You two come back quickly!"

There was a commotion in the tour group, and the young wife of the child's mother urged her husband to come back with the child as soon as possible.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, many people in the tour group still had goosebumps as if they were stressed. There are always a small number of people who are not afraid of snakes. This kind of long worm that is covered with scales and looks greasy always arouses people's disgust.

,

Seeing resistance on the faces of many tourists, in order to prevent them from asking to leave early, the tour guide quickly put on a business smile and changed the subject:

"Dear tourists, in front of you is the meter-raising platform, which is the highest place in Maoshan Mountain. From here you can not only overlook the entire Maoshan Mountain, but also the urban area."

As a gold medal tour guide, even though he had been to Maoshan countless times and was tired of seeing the surrounding scenes, he still put on an intoxicated expression and said:

"While enjoying the breeze, you can climb up and look into the distance. You can experience what Du Fu said about being at the top of the mountain and seeing the small mountains. You can also see the golden peak as a screen and the treasure pavilion with colorful clouds in the sky."

As a result, as soon as the disgust of the tourists in the tour group was suppressed and their curiosity and yearning aroused, the Taoist priest on the side smiled again and said: "Sorry, the meter table has been under maintenance in the past few days and cannot receive believers."

Tour guide:······

Master Dao, have I ever offended you? You want to tease me like this in front of tourists! Wouldn’t it be nice to have more tourists?

The tour guide felt angry, but he didn't dare to say it to the Taoist priest next to him.

It's definitely not because of the tendons on his body and the big hands with clear joints that are bigger than his head, like cattail fans, it's purely because he knows the identity of this Taoist.

This is the Supervisor of Maoshan Taoist Temple, the number two figure of the Shangqing Sect, the eldest disciple of Yang Ming, and a Taoist from Yulin.

Taoist Yulin was an orphan picked up by Yang Ming, so he took Yang Ming's surname and his common name was Yang Yu. He was a talented person.

This is a person who has registered with the association and is making a living on other people's territory. How dare this little tour guide offend Yulin.

I had no choice but to smile at the tourists, trying to get the disappointed tourists to continue shopping.

There is nothing we can do, today's target has not been completed yet.

"It doesn't matter, we haven't experienced Maoshan's special lottery divination yet. Maoshan's lottery is very effective."

After saying that, he quietly glanced at the Yulin Taoist. Seeing that the Yulin Taoist had no expression, he safely took the tourists who were very interested in such mysterious matters as divination.

Of course the Yulin Taoist has no objection to this matter. The people in charge of divination in the front yard are people from the Tourism Bureau. It is a tourism project developed by them. There is no genuine product and it can only be used as a psychological comfort.

Right now, the matter of upgrading the table is more important.

Yulin sighed, and with quick eyes and hands, he fished out a black snake with a silver ring on it, more than two meters long, from the grass, and pressed its neck.

It is a famous bungar snake in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. It is highly venomous. Yulin will not use this kind of thing to deceive people.

However, this kind of venomous snake is docile and comes out at night, so it is still a bit unexpected to appear here during the day.

This snake was obviously not used to someone holding its head and preventing it from opening its mouth. It coiled itself around Yulin's arm, trying to get him to let go.

However, Yulin did not let go. Although it has a docile personality, it is still too dangerous for tourists, especially children.

Before it opens its spiritual intelligence, it still needs someone to take care of it.

"Oh, it's true that innocent creatures have the most sensitive perceptions."

Yulin held the poisonous snake in his hand, stood in front of the table raising platform, and let out a sigh.

Two days ago, before the early morning class started, his master Yang Ming came to him and told him that Xiu Wu was back and asked him to seal off the meter table. He was both happy and puzzled.

Hu Xiuwu can be regarded as a child he has watched grow up. Yulin is naturally very happy that he can return to Maoshan, but what he doesn't understand is why the master sealed off the watch table and asked him to guard the place and not

Let no one disturb Shugo.

But he still agreed.

Nothing happens during the day, but at night, Yulin can notice the changes happening up and down Mount Maoshan. The entire Mount Maoshan is like a giant whose spine has been broken and has slowly recovered under the care of doctors in the past few days.

Every night he made a silent cry to celebrate his new life.

But it has only been two days, so the changes in Maoshan are not too obvious yet. Only cultivators, simple-minded forest birds and beasts, and children who are sensitive to Qi and have a talent for practicing Qi can discover this.

The gifted beasts are keenly aware of the benefits to themselves of staying near the table riser, and have been reluctant to leave. If it were left in the past, these spiritual beings were eager to go further, and the people of Shangqing would not

I will deliberately stop it and just let everything happen.

But now there are too many tourists on the mountain, and not everyone has the ability to protect themselves. Yulin is already considering whether to add a few more groups of patrol brothers to ensure the safety of tourists.

In fact, the best way is to block Maoshan and prevent tourists from coming again, but obviously the tourism bureau may not be able to agree to this.

However, this was a trivial matter. What really attracted Yulin's attention was that he discovered that among the children who had traveled to Maoshan in the past two days, several children had indeed sensed something unusual here.

But the problem is that there are many more gifted children than he imagined.
